So, instead of saying this isn't happening, why not look into how it could be done? They're doing it, I have no idea how. Take a look at new and you'll see that things are being controlled for the all, hot page.

I post almost every work day, I can see the patterns really well from my end. I don't care about upvotes as well, so I don't really have any emotion attached to it other than it pisses me off that I'm probably not seeing other things they don't want me to see. That's really what I hated about reddit too and why I came here.

They could have someone controlling it real time, yeah? That would explain the inconsistency of when I post out of the norm. I've been lightly testing them for years now, which is why I believe I can safely say these things.

    It would be VERY difficult. I have no idea what im looking for other than the delay or block. And im not seeing anything today. If you can give me an example, I can check in and reproduce. Otherwise its nettle/haystack.

    It might very well be a bug.

    I can see it being frustrating. But thats what community software is. The good news is that even just reporting the issue can help us all out!

    Theres a queue that is part of different instances. What can happen is posts/comments get backed up and the queue takes them all in. When an outage or slowdown happens it can bog down certain servers. Threadiverse (piefes/lemmy/mbin/etc…) up/down votes, comments, posts, etc… it gets slower as more instances connect to others. Its unfortunate but its part of the fediverse protocol. Piefed has some advances there, but it can still get bogged down sometimes.

    I would probably agree with this being the issue, if it wasn't so consistent except when I post out of the norm, I didn't have a run in with a rogue mod deleting my posts days later, and them seeming to have a shit ton of money when the exodus happened like a corp would have. You may, but most of us don't know who is behind the curtain for that instance.

    With the way it's happening, it can't be explained when you really look at the nuances. It's more like a bug that any of my posts get upvotes. Again, I don't care about upvotes. This is extremely apparent because I've posted for years with only 8 upvotes for most of my posts.
